Feeling off-balance due to BPPV often feels like the world is spinning, especially when you move your head in certain ways.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) can make you feel dizzy or off-balance, as if the room is spinning around you. This happens especially when you move your head in certain directions, like when you turn over in bed or look up or down.
BPPV is caused by small crystals in your inner ear that move out of place. These crystals affect your balance, making you feel like you are moving even when you are not.
If you experience dizziness regularly, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider to find the best way to manage it.
